        Bm                    D  
Got a grand house out in the country.  

        Bm                  D  
Marble pillars holding the door.  

Em             G                D                    A  
Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before.  

       Bm                D  
Got a Roller out in the garage.  

          Bm                      D  
But the wheels are stuck to the floor.  

        Em          G                D                   A  
Got no reason to go anywhere -- no friends call anymore.  

                    Bm D                    Bm D  
I don't want to be me,  I don't want to be me,  

                     G Em             G              A  
I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.  

         Bm                 D  
Had me playing down at the palace.  

          Bm                     D  
I was declared the belle of the ball.  

          Em                      G  
Made the boys take my goods and chattels away --  

          D                  A  
now I'm staring at an empty hall.  

                    Bm D                    Bm D  
I don't want to be me,  I don't want to be me,  

                     G Em             G              A  
I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.  

Am               C      Am  
Pardon me -- I'm on my way.  

Am                 C   Am  
Pardon me but I'm going.  

Am             C      Am         F                     G Am  
Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.  

Am                          C    Am  
I'm going to ride the ragged road  

Am                               C    Am  
diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.  

Am                    C    Am         F             G    Am  
No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet.  

             Bm                  D  
Now there's nothing left in the cupboard  

           Bm                    D  
and three bears' been eating my soup.  

    Em               G                   D      A  
My life is one big critical mess if you take a look.  

         Bm               D  
And the butler's off in Ibiza --  

      Bm                 D  
on expense account gone berserk.  

       Em                       G          D               A  
But I can't check out of this crazy world without being a jerk.  

                    Bm D                    Bm D  
I don't want to be me,  I don't want to be me,  

                     G Em             G              A  
I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.  

Am               C      Am  
Pardon me -- I'm on my way.  

Am                 C Am  
Pardon me but I'm going.  

Am             C      Am         F                     G Am  
Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.

I'm going to ride the ragged road  

Am                               C  Am  
diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.
